[Evolution-hackers] (webbased) remote client on evolution's data



Hi all,

since this is my first message to this list i want to start with some 
thanks to the developers.
I use evolution since the day i switched my workstations from windows to
Debian (about 2 years) and like it pretty much.
I think Evolution is one of the best applications for Linux and 
an example for how professional Open Source Software can be (and often
is).
I never was a power-user of Outlook and neither of Evolution so i cant
say what functionality i miss here or what i miss there but my general
feeling makes me like Evolution more than Outlook.
So, thanks for the good work and keep going!

Message follows:

To make it short at first ;). I have the idea to develop a webbased
client which should provide functionality to browse a user's data of an
evolution installation. 
The idea behind that is, that i want to be able to access my mail and 
contact information via web when i am on road.

I don't want to start a discussion if that would be a good thing or not
since i know that there are better ways to achieve that (like setting up
an IMAP/or whatever server solution). 
The point is that i just don't want to setup a mail server but develop
some linux tool for fun ;).

The problem is that i currently have no knowledge about any of the
evolution internals (e.g. how data is stored (Berkeley DB?), or how it
works at all).
So i don't even know if such a remote client would be generally possible
or not at all.
I really hope that some experienced evolution developer here can give 
me an answer to this and maybe a point where i should start reading.


Thanks for any help.
With greetings from Munich/Germany,
Grand Apeiron
